Light that is only partly coherent is often treated as a nuisance, but it could help power future microscopes as well as applications ranging from astrophysics to satellite communication. Researchers ...

Magnetic fields exist in many stars, including the Sun. Yet they remain too poorly understood to be reliably included in ...

Professor Tim Vogels from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) will receive $3 million as part of an ambitious new $80 million international research initiative exploring how energy ...

Solids with strongly correlated electrons often host co-existing and competing quantum phases (such as superconductivity, topologically non-trivial states, or electronic liquid crystal phases) that ...

When confined to the nanoscale, photons behave in unusual and intriguing ways, leading to transformative applications in quantum technologies, biosensing, advanced microscopy, and next-generation ...

Staff Scientists are fully trained researchers who provide domain-specific skills, expertise and experience not usually present within research groups. Staff Scientist positions at ISTA are ...

Circadian rhythms are universal biological phenomena in various life forms, from single-cell green algae to humans. These rhythms are tightly linked to the daily light-dark cycle and synchronize ...

Professor Sandra Siegert oversees the Life Sciences Area, which encompasses many of ISTA’s biologists, biochemists, and neuroscientists. Professor Christopher Wojtan oversees the Information and ...

Future quantum computing will require correlations between distant modules—a feature known as distributed entanglement. Traditionally, such entanglement has relied on active control and repeated ...

The Ig Nobel Prize honors research that first makes people laugh, then makes them think. Its 35th award ceremony possibly also makes people hungry: ISTA physicist Fabrizio Olmeda and colleagues ...

This article is a work of science fiction and was published on April Fools’ Day. Always keep a critical mind to distinguish between fake news and scientific fact. In a landmark achievement that ...
